Jian Shichu's gaze moved away from Ye Qingci's face, and he smiled faintly at her, "Hello."
Qiu Yuxi's heart thumped wildly at the sight of his handsome face. She patted her chest and made a face at Ye Qingci, "I'm a bit cold, Cici. I'm going to warm up inside the cabin."
Qiu Yuxi turned tail and ran, heading for the cabin.
Ye Qingci wrapped her arms around Jian Shichu's neck, "Why did you come out?"
Jian Shichu wrapped his arms around her waist, "I prefer the company of my wife to that of my brothers."
With her head tilted, Ye Qingci laughed, "Aren't you afraid they'll say you favor love over friendship?"
Jian Shichu chuckled, "Anyway, they dare only say it in their hearts, not to my face."
Ye Qingci bumped him with her head, laughing, "You big tyrant!"
Jian Shichu laughed, "Even a tyrant is still a ruler!"
Ye Qingci was at a loss for words, leaning into his chest, taking in the distant scenery, and changing the subject, "How beautiful!"
